Too Many Secrets* No More: Google Maps Out Area 51 Airstrips and Tunnels

Information, as they say, wants to be free. Another way of saying that is that information is a dirty dirty three-tooth whore whose idea of a fancy night out is a quick one in an alley containing fewer than forty rats.

I'll be the first to say it: Damn, those "patterns" look supsiciously like the large carvings at Lake Titicaca (giggle) near Nazca, Peru, which we all know were actually drawn by alien visitors, according to Erik Von Danekan's blockbuster Chariots of the Gods. This one looks like an alligator or a ship or... something.

Actually, I guess it doesn't really look like anything at all, which is simply further proof that aliens were involved in its design. If humans had designed it, it would look like something earthly, right? Makes sense to me.

Ergo: aliens, doodling something that only exists on some faraway planet. Perhaps it's intended as some numinous "pictogram" depicting a strange desert airbase complex on their homeworld.

I don't know. I don't do this for a living.


*Where? You guys are getting bad at this game.

By the way, the last one -- "I'm not making this stuff up" -- was from Apollo 13. An engineer says it in annoyance when he's questioned about how little power is available on the stricken spacecraft.

I do.

And I just laugh and laugh and laugh.

BTW, am I the only one who appreciates the irony of having Google overhead imagery of the National Reconnaissance Office headquarters?

Priceless.

"Too many secrets."

Wild guess. Is it from Sneakers?

Posted by: J on April 22, 2005 02:00 PM

Yes.

Posted by: ace on April 22, 2005 02:03 PM

Hah! I knew that one. Unfortunately, having to, you know, do real work and all, was too late to again prove my trivial prowess.

Posted by: NickS on April 22, 2005 02:07 PM

Oh. I didn't know we were playing you little game.

You want to play a game?

You want to see something real scary?

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

Dave,

That's a really tough one. Here's another tough one: "Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn."

Posted by: ace on April 22, 2005 02:18 PM
"Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn."

I guess Gone With the Wind, but the quote from that movie is "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

So it can't be that.

Posted by: Allah on April 22, 2005 02:24 PM

Spex,

That thing looks to be 400 yards across. Any idea who created it? Its purpose?

Posted by: TheShadow on April 22, 2005 02:25 PM

TheShadow,
Not a clue. I believe it's on Fort Chaffee, a huge, former Army base.

Posted by: Spex on April 22, 2005 02:33 PM

Gee Ace, I love you too.

I've always loved you.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on April 22, 2005 02:38 PM

I guess Gone With the Wind, but the quote from that movie is "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

So it can't be that.

Yes, but keep in mind that Ace can't tell his ass from his elbows when it comes to getting basic facts correct. "Almost" or "nearly" is good enough for both him and government work.

Posted by: Jeff B. on April 22, 2005 02:46 PM

Yes, but keep in mind that Ace can't tell his ass from his elbows when it comes to getting basic facts correct.

Which may explain how the female orgasm has eluded him.

Looking at the Groom Lake pic, you have a main runway, a smaller paralell runway, taxiways connecting the two, and some taxiway loops off to the supposed underground hangars.

Come on guys, you've seen an airport before, right?

Posted by: SGT Dan on April 22, 2005 02:58 PM

SGT Dan,

I guess I'm being a little too subtle today.

That was a complicated sort of joke, but, yeah, basically, I know it's just an airfield.

Posted by: ace on April 22, 2005 03:00 PM

Spex: You realize, of course, that when C--uh, The Other One Who Shall Not Be Named--sees that Arkansas pic, he's going to pretty much break out in assholes and shit himself to death.

Posted by: utron on April 22, 2005 03:06 PM

The star of David pattern is the sign of an SA-2 site, which is an old Soviet surface to air missle system.

Its the same sort of picture that got the Cuban Missile Crisis rolling.

Apparently this one is part of a bombing range:

www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/razorback.htm

or part of a secret Communist invasion.
Take your pick.

Nazca isn't near Lake Titicaca. But, at least you got to say "Lake Titicaca".

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford on April 22, 2005 03:16 PM

Makes sense. When the Army owned Chaffee, it used Potato Hill for reservist artillery training. Every once in a while a shell would go errant and hit Charleston on the other side.

Posted by: Spex on April 22, 2005 03:17 PM

A shame that C*******d now will know that it's not a Zionist outpost. It would have been cool to watch him melt down.

Posted by: Spex on April 22, 2005 03:23 PM

Maybe it's all a cover-up. Maybe the aliens are Zionists.

Keep the dream alive, baby.

Posted by: Pompous on April 22, 2005 03:39 PM

I wonder how long that strip has been abandoned. It's a strange coincidence that I found myself looking at that same exact airfield just a few days ago. If you zoom in to the highest resolution, there's what appears to be the outline of a plane on the runway. You can follow trails off into the desert to what look like other storage bunkers and revetments. If you follow the road on the east of the airfield as it heads south, there are four very large footprints of what appear to be (or used to be) warehouses. They look huge.

However, the more interesting site to look at (if you pan much farther to the south) is the nuclear test range. You can see each and every crater. There's one particlarly large blast crater on the north end of the range.

AFAIK, the actual Groom Lake site is to the east of this airstrip and lies just on the border of the high resolution "brownish" area. If you zoom out far enough to see the borders of the "brownish" area this trip is a part of, you'll see on the right hand side a very long black strip.

Posted by: yaminohasha on April 22, 2005 03:41 PM

Here's a link to the nuke range. It's center screen.

You can see Groom Lake as the black line crossing the lake bed in the upper right corner.

God this is such a great way to waste time.

Posted by: yaminohasha on April 22, 2005 03:55 PM

I don't have time for this right now, busy with my Kirlian photography.

Posted by: John from WuzzaDem on April 22, 2005 04:38 PM

I thought "too many secrets" was first uttered by Lithgow's character in the awful, unrealistic movie "Manhattan Project". I think it's one of the last lines in the movie.

Posted by: JFH on April 22, 2005 04:41 PM

Spex - hear about your pals over at AIPAC? AIPACs cutting them lose as the heat mounts.

As for criticizing Jews or Zionists - sorry, but if I'm free to lambaste fake Native Americans, gays, real Casino Americans, the Religious Right, Frenchies, Chinese, Arabs, Communists, inner city black behaviors, limousine liberals, gutless Democrats, Hollywood -

When did Jews get their immunity from criticism idol? I must have missed that episode of "Survivor."

And weren't those idols only good for a limited amount of time?

Posted by: Cedarford on April 22, 2005 05:58 PM

Hey guys, I just stumbled over a translator.

Think i'll give it a test run.

i'll just put this in-"As for criticizing Jews or Zionists - sorry, but if I'm free to lambaste fake Native Americans, gays, real Casino Americans, the Religious Right, Frenchies, Chinese, Arabs..blah,blah,blah..."

wait two seconds;

and: ZEEEE JOOOOOSSSS! ICK BEEN INE AL HITLER!

wow. looks like it worked.

Son of America.

son of america - a man after my own heart :)

Posted by: BrewFan on April 22, 2005 07:52 PM

Too bad, Son of Israel. At least this isn't France or England, two new countries joining the list of those where Zionists are openly despised. Even Canada is going that way, masked by Canadian censorship laws.

Was Dale Carnagie's book "How to Make Friends and Influence People" ever translated into Yiddish or Hebrew?

Posted by: Cedarford on April 22, 2005 09:42 PM

I wonder if they have photos of Setec Astronomy?

Posted by: Jimmie on April 22, 2005 10:46 PM

Dave at GR, "Wanna see something really scary" is from the opening scene of "Twilight Zone: The Movie". Dan Akroyd and Albert Brooks.


Forgot that Vic Morrow and two kids were killed during filming.
